EAE:

EAE was induced in 7- to 13-wk-old female mice (Kihara et al., 2009). Briefly, mice were immunized subcutaneously with 150 µg myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein … in PBS and complete Freunds adjuvant containing 4 mg/mL M. Tuberculosis H37Ra (Difco) with or without intraperitoneal injection of 250 ng pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories) on days 0 and 2.

Indirect immunofluorescence assays:

HFF cells seeded on glass cover slips were infected with freshly isolated tachyzoites for 24 h, fixed with 4 % paraformaldehyde for 10 min, and then neutralized with 0.1 M glycine in PBS for 5 min. Samples were permeabilized by 0.1 % triton X -100 in PBS for 20 min, blocked with 2 % bovine serum albumin in PBS/0.1 % triton X -100 for 20 min. Subsequently, they were stained with primary antibodies (mouse anti -HA, 1:10.000; rabbit anti -TgGap45, 1:10.000) for 1 h and then with respective secondary antibodies (Alexa488 and Alexa594, 1:3.000) for 45 min in the dark. Samples were mounted into a mix of fluoromount G and DAPI, dried at 4 C overnight and examined by fluorescence microscopy (ApoTome, Zeiss). To resolve the C -terminal topology of TgFNT1 – 3, extracellular parasites were stained with a mouse -HA antibody (1:3000), suspended either in 3% BSA/PBS solution for pre -permeabilization staining, or in 2% BSA/0.2% triton X -100/PBS for post -permeabilization, as shown in Fig. S1. The inner membrane complex was separated from the plasma membrane by treating extracellular parasites with -toxin from Clostridium septicum (20 nM, 2 h) (List Biological Laboratories) followed by fixation on BSA -coated (0.01%) coverslips. In both cases, the standard secondary antibody staining procedure was performed afterwards, as described above.

EAE induction:

All animal work was in compliance with our protocol approved by the University of British Columbia Animal Care Committee (certificate #A130281) and per the Canadian Council on Animal Care guidelines. Eight-week-old female C57BL/6 (Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, ME) mice were immunized for chronic progressive EAE as previously described [41, 42] with 200 g of MOG35-55 peptide (MEVGWYRSPFSRVVHLYRNGK; Stanford Pan Facility, Stanford, CA) in 4 mg/mL Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Ra) in incomplete Freunds adjuvant (IFA) (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI). Pertussis toxin (200 ng, List Biologicals, Campell, CA) was delivered intraperitoneally that day and 2 days later. …
